A Golf Cart as a Second Vehicle
Many states, including Florida, allow golf carts to be driven on public roads. Check your state and local laws regarding golf carts. Because of the lack of environmental impact, the EPA had helped encourage legislation over the years in many areas, which now allow golf carts to be driven on the streets. In Florida, specially equipped golf carts and other electric vehicles referred to as “low speed vehicles (LSVs)” can be driven on public roads that post a speed limit not over 35 mph.
If you work close enough to home, consider driving an LSV. If you go to school in the same town or city as you live, consider an LSV. Whether shopping, going out to dinner, attending a ball game, consider an LSV for your local transportation.
Although we’re not advocating it, it’s been our personal experience that finding parking anywhere is a breeze. LSVs and golf carts can be parked in non-traditional parking spaces that a motorized vehicle would get towed for! Just be careful not to block exists, handicap spaces, or fire hydrants.
Whether you rent or purchase a golf cart or LSV, driving one can be a great cost savings, help the environment, and be a lot of fun too. You can rent or buy carts for multiple passengers, with a cargo bed, and even with an electric dump on the back. Golf carts can include enclosures, fans, heaters, lift kits and oversized tires, if desired. There’s really no end to their versatility and custom accessories…just ask. So, what are you waiting for? Rent or buy your golf cart or LSV today!
